"a Box of Cash +"

This charming play, which the Edith
st. Clair Company is to produce at the
Grand Opera House during the coming
week, is described by those who have seen
it as being nearly as musical as an opera,
sparkling throughout with songs. The
costumes are also very fine. Miss Sim
claire appears in five gorgeous dresses at
each performance, thus treating the ladies
who attend to many novelties in the way
of fashions.

the scene Of a happy gathering, the occa-
zion being the marriage of Mr. John Hsber-
stick TO Miss Kate Dailer. After the cere-
mony, which was performed by Father

Stamm's four mile house, where an elegant
supper had been prepared. In the evening
a reception was held at their home on
Thirty fourth street. Both of the young

Two Profitable Additions to the Product
of American Farms.

Two Profitable Additions to the Products
of American Farms.
There are two new additions to the
list of profitable products of the farm
which promise to find employment for
many farmers who have the requisite
facilities. These are due to foreign no.
tons and tastes imported chiefly from
France and Germany along with the
numerous adopted citizens who hail
from those European shores. One is
the grenoujlle, so called by the French,
who esteem it as choice article for
the exercise of culinary skill. 1t is now
served pat the first hotels and restau-
rants in the large cities, New York
especially, and appears in the markets
as II regular article of sale. The ami
nal is easily bred and reared, and
feeds itself and thrives most abundant
ly in marshes. The other is called
eScarqot, and is used for making stcws
and soups, but is eaten also boiled and
roasted. This animal is also easily
reared, and requires no feeding, but
does better when pasture is provided
for it. Known in common parlance,
the first as the frog and the other as
the snail, these readily acclimated ami
mails have never until now been consid-
cred rs of any value, but no doubt
hereafter will furnish special business
here, as they have done for many years
in Europe, to thousands of farmers.
The Frenchirog farm is much like one
of our cranberry meadows--a swamp
laid out in broad bitches with grassy
banks between them. We remember
years ago passing one of these farms in
the vicinity of large French city in
the early evening, and being drawn to
notice it by the deafening music from
the thousands of fat fellows sitting in
the damp grass and now and then
splashing into the bitches and continu-
ing to sing their lays rs they protruded
their shouts just above the surface of
the water. These frogs were a sp cial
breed, Rena esctsienta by name, but diff
fering very little from our handsome,
slender specimen found in marshes,
and having bright green and brown
spotted skin. Our common bullfrog is
said to be quite rs delicate in flavor.
and more acceptable in point of meat,
than the esculent species of Europe,

with a great effort | braced myself for
what saw must happen. They could
not see me until within three or four
feet of the door, and their first intima-
ton that | was out of bed was when
they heard me call out stop, or I'll
shoot"
l had them covered with the weapon,
and for fifteen seconds there was dead
silence. Then they got plan. The
man with the candle dashed it on the
floor, and as l supposed they meant to
rush in on me in the dark, but check
mated it by opening fire. They then
either meant to retreat downstairs or
toward the rear floor, for l saw the
three together moving off and fired at
their dim figures. Three seconds later
there was a great shout of borrow, fol-
lowed by the tremendous report of the
double-barre spring gun, and then
there was absolute silence. | think !
stood in the door shaking like leaf
for fully three minutes before the ST.
lence was broken by a groan. Then ii
came to me that the robbers had fallen
through the open door upon the cord
leading to the gun. Istruck match,
lighted my own candle, and, going to
the opening l saw three bodies lying
below. Running back to the bedroom
to recharge my revolver, l then went
down stairs to investigate. 1t was as
suspected. The three had pitched
down together. The top of ones head
had been blown off by the shot, sec
ond had hole in his chest as big as
your fist, while the third, who was re
sponsible for the groans, was severely
wounded in both legs. 1t was three
months before he could be put on trial
and then he got four years in prison
The whole thing was a put-up-job
The ''drover" was a Chicago burglar
called "Clawhammer Dick" and he
had hidden himself in the store tina
night, and then let his pals in by tn,
back door. They had horse ant
wagon in the rear of the building, ant
the plan was to rob the store of good
as well as to get the money in the safe
A bit of carelessness on my part no
only saved the store and probably m
life, but wiped out a very desperat
gang.-M T. San.

hunters thousands are now imported
from Canada Tor the supply Of the New
York market. Consequently the time
has come for the skilled culture OF
them in connection with other aquatic
products, as brook trout, carp, bass,
